Latest Information

(November 2025)

Since starting construction in September 2024, we have made good progress on our civil phase with the construction of site tracks and foundations.

The site is now ready to receive the first turbine components and as such we are preparing to make arrangements for their delivery.

When planning the deliveries our aim is to ensure we avoid peak periods of traffic, primarily around school drop-off and pick-up times. We will endeavour to not impact on those time of day. At this stage it is envisioned that we will make one convoy per day (Mon-Fri) which will comprise of three abnormal load vehicles per convoy. At all times, the convoy will be accompanied by support vehicles from our delivery partner along with Police Scotland. This will ensure that traffic is held at certain points along the route to enable the convoy to pass safely.

The delivery route itself will be from Scrabster Harbour to the site entrance (just to the east of Strathy). This route is approximately 29 miles long.

Turbine deliveries will begin on Monday the 10th November with an expected departure from Scabster Harbour at 09:30am. This is expected to repeated Monday to Friday throughout the remainder of November until the 19th December.

We do apologise for any disruption to journeys and we appreciate your patience.
